ED aka the best everrr
Yeah they might be looking for...triangle players?

Jonny can play everything else...

...well he can play the triangle too...but he won't stoop that low.

from the Blame Ed thread on atease

1. Ed stomped his feet at having virtually no part to play in 15 step, causing the tsunami in south east asia.

on the bright side, jonny then allowed him to do the sampling bit at the end.

2. myth has it that jonny tried to ruin Creep by playing that crunching guitar part.

actually it was ed who hated the song the most and tried to ruin it by burning down the studio with the master tapes.

fortunately, he was stoned and set fire to a local orphanage instead.

3. Frustrated at his lack of involvement during the Kid A sessions, Ed voted for George W. Bush 500 times in various polling booths in Florida in 2000 to piss Thom off.

4. (about the 'you're a cunt' heckle to Thom at a gig) Ed snook in the crowd during I Want None of This and heckled Thom. If you listen closely you can hear him say "I want to play lead guitar and lead vocals"

5. Ed, annoyed by Thom hogging the limelight in Meeting People is easy, dressed up as a bouncer and refused to let him into a club in the US, shouting; "Radiohead! Creep! Dickhead!" which was what Ed initially wanted to call OK Computer.

6. During the Cuban missile crisis, Ed phoned Khruschev to tell him that JFK had accused his mother of being fat. Unfortunately, he was stoned and ended up dialling the Greenwood's house.

Jonny has never forgiven him, and hasn't allowed Ed a decent guitar riff in a song since.

7. The riff at the start of Lucky wasn't actually played by Ed in the studio. He paid a Thai ladyboy to strum the guitar while Ed snorted lines of charlie off his arse.

When the ladyboy returned to his country to give his starving family his earnings he realised he had been paid in Monopoly money.

8. During the sessions for Kid A, Thom, fed up with Ed demanding more guitar-driven rock songs, challenged him to write a 3 minute guitar pop song. Ed, after hours of frustration and writers block got stoned and recorded Treefingers just to piss Thom off. In revenge, Thom put it on the album.

9. Ed tried to lock the car doors in the Karma Police video in order to get Thom "out of the picture". Then the stage would be set for his Scary Song EP...

When that didn't work he persuaded thom to do a video for no surprises that involved him holding his breath for an unfeasibly long time. unfortunately, the director decided it would be better idea to give thom control of the lever to empty the helmet of water, rather than Ed.

Ed drove Thom out to the forest where he planned to shoot him, but Thom got away. The video for "There, There" is Thom trying to get away from Ed.
---
Ed's idea for "No Surprises":

"We should totally drown Thom and make a video out of it or something."

10. The only reason Ed got to be in Radiohead is that during one of the ritual beatings he dealt out to Thom at school for being 'queer', Thom offered him a place as guitarist as long as the violence would stop.
Ed, realising how useful this would be to secure the supply of weed and easy girls that he so craved, agreed.

Much to Thom's chagrin, Ed still occassionally kicks the living shit out of him.

11. When the US wants to up the ante during torture at Guantanamo Bay, they call Ed in to fuck with his pedals and do some backing vocals.
Sometimes the prisoners enjoy this, so Ed bashes the shit out of them with his massive bear-like paws.

12. It was Ed's idea to cut verses out of Motion Picture Soundtrack and Nude, because it makes gigs shorter, allowing him access to his beers, smokes and hookers sooner.

13. Ancient myth has it that Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Ed sang backing vocals.

14. Ed, sitting on the front deck of the Titanic, saw the iceberg before everybody else, but was too stoned to care. When the ship's band played on as the Titanic sunk, Ed joined in and messed around with his pedals, but even then they turned him way down in the mix.

15. Ed is the "great man" Henry Gale referred to in Lost. He is keeping the islanders trapped in order to test out material for his solo album on them.

16. Ed got drunk with Truman at the end of World War II and decided it would be 'cool' to see what happened if they dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan.

Unfortunately Ed was too hungover, slept in and missed Hiroshima, so they had to do it again on Nagasaki a few days later. Ed was said to be "mildly disappointed" with the explosion.

17. Ed drew all the cartoons of Mohammed published in the Danish newspaper.

They were meant to be of Thom but he's not very good at drawing.

18. It was Ed's fault that the band could only originally perform on a friday, as he was too busy getting drunk and stoned the rest of the week.

19. Ed told Charles Manson that Sharon Tate had taken the piss out of his music and said he had a small dick. This was because Manson kicked Ed out his band for making strange moaning noises on the backing vocals, demanding bigger guitar roles and just wondered around smoking pot banging the chicks in the family.

20. The jackson 5 hit was originally called "Blame It On O'Brien", but had to be changed when Ed threatened to go public with the photos of the jackson kids at bathtime that he had accumulated with a ladder and a zoom lens.

It was Ed's idea to frame 'the boogie', unable as it was to defend itself from accusations that by rights should have been laid at Ed's door.

Ed still sings that song to himself before going to bed at night, smiling wryly and occasionally singing some backing vocals.

you're lucky I was bored and copied and pasted the good 'uns...more later...

FFS. It's gone too far.
ED aka the best everrr
what is ffs? damn it I thought I knew all the slang lingo shit.

it has yet to go "too far"

more...

21. Ed made all my friends hate me...
seriously...
he came to my house and created a fake "burn book", and they found it.

(sorry I'm a Mean Girls fan)

22.After knobbing Kate Winslet, Ed quickly got into a life boat and paddled ahead of the titanic where he threw some seed crystals and liquid nitrogen in the sea- creating a massive ice-berg which procceded to sink the ship.

Ed watched it all unfold from the side, smoking a huge spliff, then refused to pick any survivors up cos again- he didnt want to share any buds or spare his precious fags.

He also sang backing vocals to Celine Dion. A definate low point in his career.

Celine has always claimed this to be the low-point in her career too:

"Oh, yeah, what was I thinking?? Mon Dieu! Fortunately he was turned way down in the mix." Celine Dion.

23. The assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo?
Ed.
Ed hates post-punk.

24. Unbeknownst to the other band members, Ed has been sending copies of his CV to other bands, advertising his guitar skill, backing vox and pedal power. He recently received this reply:

Dear Mr O'Brien

Thank you for you CV and letter. Unfortunately we are not in a position to take on any new band members at this time. Although we admire your work in Radiohead, we already have two very competent guitarists, and one of them already does backing vocals.

We are, however, currently planning a UK tour to promote our third album, and have several positions available for technical support, one of which involves setting up our effects pedals before we come on stage. If you are interested and would like to come for an interview, please let us know so we can arrange a time.

Yours Sincerely

Franz Ferdinand.


To which Ed wrote back:


Dear Franz GAYdinand:

WTF???? Are you bloody shitting me you scottish FOOLS???

I'm in RADIOHEAD!! You shoud be fuckin BEGGING me to be in your band.

Please. Please let me be in your band. You can turn me down in the mix, I'll sit on the floor at the side of the stage, you won't even know I'm there... I get so lonely...

Ed "Ace" O'Brien

25. Secretly Ed's backing vocals are designed such that if you play radiohead tracks backwards he says things like
'i hate Thom', or 'smoke weed everyday' or even 'i wish i was in Coldplay'...

He's still pissed about that rejection letter he got from Chris Martin

26. Dear Mr O'Brien

Thank you for your recent correspondance regarding your claim to have broken the world record for "Largest number of guitar effects pedals ever used during a live show". Unfortunately, your attempt to break this record faltered on the following two conditions:

1. The sound produced by the effects pedals must actually be heard by the audience.

2. The effects pedals must be attached to a guitar.

Yours Apologetically

Guinness Book Of World Records.

27. Ed tried directing a movie and ended up filming himself masturbating on a picture of his grandmother.

28. ed scattered his gay pornography magazines all over the studio...which consequently distracted jonny and pushed back lp7 release date

29. As a method of appeasing the many bailiffs who are hunting him down for the money he owes crack dealers, Ed regularly "creates" his own effects pedals and sells them on ebay as jonny's cast offs. In reality these are just matchboxes which he has drawn pictures of nobs on, filled with soil and attached a kettle lead to. Never buy ebay items from the seller "IFUCKINGLOVEWEEDYOUPOOFS!!!".

30. Ed got through all the qualifying rounds for this year's Big Brother, but pulled out at the last minute when told that producers could turn his mic down at any point if they didn't like what they were hearing, angrily saying "Not this shit again" before storming out of the building.

31. Ed has serious commitment problems. The last girl he went out with for 2 years. After she broached the subject of them moving in together, one morning later that week she found one of his effects pedals in her younger sister's bedroom...

Dirty bastard.

32. i think ed bribed the nme into insisting jonny cut thoms hair whilst he stood in the back ground urging jonny to "stab thom in the head with the scissors..." alas, his attempt at telepathy didn't work beacuse he was too distracted by the photographers tits.

33. While trying to diagram his various pedals while stoned, Ed invented Su-do-ku.

34. Ed convinced Thom to let him do the vocals on "Fitter Happier". Perplexed by Ed's drug use and bizarre vocal work "Paranoid Android" was penned in response. The ever stoned and clueless Ed thanked Thom for adding a maracha part for him

35. Ed turned up to the recording session for Thom's Eraser album, effects pedals in hand. As he began to warm up his voice, Thom came over to ask him what he was doing:

"I'm just here to add my backing vocals."

"Ah. OK. Right. Now, Ed. I want this Eraser album to feature some innovative recording techniques, as you know."

"Of course Thom, I'm always up for innovation. Look how many effects pedals I have here."

"Right, yes. Now I'm currently experimenting with ways we can record your backing vocals to make them sound... er... different."

"Great!"

"So, what I'd like you to do is, pop home, go into your bathroom and just sing into the toilet brush."

"Eh?"

"No, it's fine. Me an Nigel have got this all figured out. We've already installed all the electronics. So just stay in your bathroom, and sing right into the toilet brush. Off you go."

"Right. OK. See you then. Oh, by the way, could you put my name as Ed "Ace" O'Brien in the liner notes?"

"Sure mate. Seeya!"

"Cheers Thom. You're a real pal."

36. Ed shot the sheriff, but he did not shoot no deputy (as he said that Ed's Scary Song was amazing).

37. Ed invented the Microsoft Word paper clip.

It started when Ed installed it on Thom's laptop.
Whenever Thom would start writing lyrics, the paper clip would pop up and say "I see you are writing a tortured alternative rock song, would you like to add backing vocals?"

that one should count for the last 3...it's my absolute fave.
